I read “The Forgotten Man” and thought it was one of the best books on The Great Depression. I’ll have to check this out.

“Forgotten Man” is an excellent, if frustrating, read. It really opened my eyes to how much the Roosevelt administration needlessly stretched out the Depression for nearly a decade by unwittingly refusing to “let the chips fall where they may” and allow the economy to reset itself, as Harding had done in 1920-21.
